We see firsthand how it’s the norm in 🇦🇺; no wonder our strikers are so fcken toothless, and have been pretty much since Dukes’ heyday ended😔

Sure, there’s the odd exception here and there but the point sadly isn’t invalidated.
 
Before the invasion of the tenth tier KNVB klowns talented young teenagers were given leeway to express themselves. As a former coach at the highest level I'd build a team around the gifted kids special qualities. Whatever formation or system that aided the truly special talent is what I went with. Conversely, the KNVB grifters were only interested in kids who fitted THEIR paper systems.

Big shame however the dopes at the FFA/FA knew no better. They were all mesmerised by Hiddink at the time and bet the farm on everything Dutch. Now, a wasted 20 years and still counting.
 
What specifically over the past 20 years has been a wasted?
Could you clarify specifics including what was so horrible about the KNVB?

I'm a little younger and don't quite understand this when I hear people make this or similar criticisms of the past 20 years and of the National curriculum which I can't say I hear too much of in the way of coaches using or following the NC in any way only that it is just criticism of "the system".

Australia has consistently made the WC and recently made youth Asian and WC's. As well as progressively finishing further in those competitions and advanced to latter stages which is one reason why I can't quite understand the criticism.

More domestic players of late have been getting international transfers by quantity as well as the prices increasing not sure if this has occurred in Aus football history before.

I'm unsure how my tone is coming across, but please take it no other way than genuinely interested in understanding what was bad about the past 20 years and maybe how it can be improved or was better in the past.
